Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for concentrating solutions by means of reverse osmosis on the basis of a combination of membrane modules (A) having membranes with high retention, and membrane modules (B) having membranes with limited retention, the minimum number of membrane modules being three. Any membrane module may be replaced by a continuous membrane column. At least one of the membrane modules (A) and (B) should be in the form of a cascade, comprising preferably from two up to and including eight membrane modules.
